20 Abr Telemedicine in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic

The rapid progression of the disease presents a real challenge for the whole world. As the usual capacity for citizen care is exceeded, health professionals and governments struggle. One of the most important strategies to reduce and mitigate the advance of the epidemic are social distance measures; this is where telemedicine can help, and provide support to the healthcare systems, especially in the areas of public health, prevention, and clinical practices, just as it is doing in others sectors such as teleworking and support in training and education.
